What is the best probiotic to take while on triple antibiotic therapy?

Posted by corina3892 @corina3892, 3 days ago

I was just diagnosed with pulmonary MAI after a biopsy. I will be on a regimen of Rifampin/Ethambutol/Azithromycin for 12-18 months. I want to avoid a yeast infection(s). My reading states there are two probiotics: Saccharomyces boulardii and lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. I am leaning toward the Saccharomyces bollardii as it cannot be destroyed by the triple antibiotic. I do not see the pulmonologist until the end of the month, but I want to be prepared with questions. Suggestions?

"Kroger" no longer owns them.
My order was messed up by them. I double checked all information I was inputting.
First order went to the Bronx rather than OKC. Finally messaged to say where is it.
Outcome. They refunded the money and had to reorder all and make sure they applied and gave the the original 20% off coupon. They took forever to get the second order out.
That meant it took two weeks to get what I needed in two days.
Just be aware....
and know they appear to no longer take telephone calls.....e mails now.

@blm1007blm1007 Oh I hope they don't change! I get my probiotic and Vitamin D from them as well as my husband's pickleball cocktail. They've always been fast and accurate. I just ordered yesterday and was notified the order shipped so hopefully it arrives and all is correct.
